So, I wandered the streets nearby until I came across a restaurant and finally found it —whole chicken! In my head, I imagined a juicy, tender (嫩的) whole bird with perfectly crispy (酥脆的) browned skin with a side of mashed potatoes (土豆泥): just the way it is always prepared in America, right? For some reason, I never stopped to think that the Chinese definition of a “whole chicken” might be different from my assumptions. I waved a waiter over and hurriedly pointed to the line on the menu to show my food request. Finally, I would be able to satisfy my eagerness! Yet, when the bird finally landed on my plate, my wide grin (咧嘴笑) turned to one of shock. Rather than a golden crispy brown, the skin was instead bright yellow. But the most obvious was something that I would rather not have seen at all: the head! In all my years of eating chicken, I had never seen the head still attached to the rest of the body. Yet here it was, staring back at me. In America, although people understand where meat comes from, the way food is presented means they aren’t reminded of the living animal it once was. When staring face-to-face with the dead bird on my plate, that fact was made much more apparent. Still, I carried on, trying to ignore the head while I dug into the chicken breast (胸脯肉). But, even here, I found organs (器官) like the heart and lungs that had not been totally removed. Finally, I gave up and just focused on the rice instead. Afterward, I came to understand chicken is almost always served with the head in Chinese dishes. Although my tolerance for food has expanded since then, I will never forget the first time I ordered a whole chicken and got more than what I had expected. 6. Why did the author go to eat a whole chicken? A. He missed the food of his home country. B. He wanted to try Chinese-style chicken. C. He came across a unique restaurant. D. He liked its picture on the menu. 7. What shocked the author most? A. The chicken’s size. B. The chicken’s dark color. C. The chicken not being crispy. D. The chicken served with its head. 8. Why did the author give up eating the chicken finally? A. He disliked its taste. B. He preferred the rice. C. He found organs inside. D. He missed American food. 9. What does the author think of Chinese food in the end? A. Acceptable. B. Scary. C. Tasty. D. Comfortable. 10. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Eating habits in China. B. Cooking style of Chinese chicken. C. My homesickness in China. D. My first taste of a chicken in China. 【答案】6. A 7. D 8. C 9. A 10. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在中国首次尝试吃整鸡的经历。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Back in the summer of 2017, I was busy studying in Beijing when I suddenly got homesick for some Western food.”（2017年夏天，我在北京忙于学习，突然很想念西方的食物。），根据第二段“So, I wandered the streets nearby until I came across a restaurant and finally found it —whole chicken!”（所以，我在附近的街道上徘徊，直到我遇到一家餐馆，终于找到了它——全鸡！）可知，作者去吃整鸡是因为他想念他的家乡食物。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Yet, when the bird finally landed on my plate, my wide grin (咧嘴笑) turned to one of shock. Rather than a golden crispy brown, the skin was instead bright yellow. But the most obvious was something that I would rather not have seen at all: the head!”（然而，当鸡最终落在我的盘子里时，我的笑容变成了震惊。皮肤不是金黄色的，而是亮黄色的。但最明显的是我宁愿不看到的东西：头！）可知，作者最震惊的是鸡带着头被端上来。故选D。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“But, even here, I found organs (器官) like the heart and lungs that had not been totally removed. Finally, I gave up and just focused on the rice instead.”（但是，即使在这里，我发现像心脏和肺这样的器官并没有完全去除。最后，我放弃了，只是专注于吃饭。）可知，作者最后放弃吃鸡是因为他发现鸡内部的器官并未完全去除。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Afterward, I came to understand chicken is almost always served with the head in Chinese dishes. Although my tolerance for food has expanded since then, I will never forget the first time I ordered a whole chicken and got more than what I had expected.”（后来，我明白了，在中国的菜肴中，鸡几乎总是带着头。尽管从那时起，我的食物接受度扩大了，但我永远不会忘记我第一次点了一只整鸡，得到的比我预期的要多。）可知，作者认为中国食物是可以接受的，故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“根据第二段“So, I wandered the streets nearby until I came across a restaurant and finally found it —whole chicken!”（所以，我在附近的街道上徘徊，直到我遇到一家餐馆，终于找到了它——全鸡！）”以及下文具体描写了作者吃整只鸡的经历可知，文章主要讲述了作者在中国首次尝试吃整鸡的经历，故选D。 C Most of us can’t smell our own breath. If someone bravely informs you your breath smells, believe them, and do something about it. Your breath can be the first sign that something in your body needs attention. Here are some tips to help you identify the cause, and how to fix it. Of the many causes of bad breath, 90% come from rotten (腐烂的) — smelling bacterial (细菌的) by-products inside our mouth. These by-products form a series of odours (气味) that can make our breath smell like rotten eggs or human waste. The largest and most significant odour-producing part is our tongue. The back of our tongue is a perfect place for bacteria that feed on dead cells, saliva (唾液) proteins, sinus ooze and fluids from untreated tooth disease. These bacteria can form a furry coat on our tongue that spreads through our breath. The good news is that you can fix this by brushing your tongue when you clean your teeth. Eating onion and garlic can add a sulphurous (硫的) tone to your breath for up to three days, due mainly to food particles left behind. Smoking also causes bad mouth smells to stay. Hard-to-reach places in the mouth where the toothbrush just can’t seem to clean can act like greenhouses where unhealthy bacteria develop. Spaces in faulty or broken fillings, holes in teeth, gap s in the gums, as well as improperly cleaned dental implants (移植) all contribute to bad odours. Your dentist can help identify these smell-promoting storing places, and fix or clean them. We all experience morning breath, with some suffering more than others. Morning breath occurs when our saliva flow slows or stops while we sleep. And without saliva to wash, everything seems to stop and the bacteria multiply to give off gassy odours. Other factors that reduce saliva include stress, anxiety, blood-pressure-reducing medication, drugs, caffeine and alcohol. This is why it is important to brush your teeth, and use suitable tools such as proper brushes before going to bed. 11. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a topic. C. To state an opinion. D. To raise a question. 12. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in paragraph 2? A. Confirm. B. Report. C. Avoid. D. Present. 13. Which part contributes most in producing bad smell? A. Mouth. B. Teeth. C. Tongue. D. Nose. 14. What shall we do to avoid bad breath? A. Keep off onion and garlic. B. Reduce smoking. C. Skip meals frequently. D. Drink coffee and alcohol. 15. What could be the best title of this passage? A. Dirty tongues lead to bad smell B. Improper habits cause bad smell C. Follow daily routine and avoid bad breath D. Find the causes of bad breath and the ways to remove it 【答案】11. B 12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了口臭的可能原因及解决方法。 11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Most of us can’t smell our own breath. If someone bravely informs you your breath smells, believe them, and do something about it.(我们大多数人都闻不到自己的口气。如果有人勇敢地告诉你你的口气有味道，相信他们，并采取行动)”和下文内容可知，第一段简要介绍了人们无法闻到自己的口气这一情况，并鼓励读者相信别人，如果被告知自己有口气，要及时处理，从而引入下文口臭的话题和解决方法，并在随后的段落中进一步扩展。所以第一段的功能是引入一个话题。故选B项。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Your breath can be the first sign that something in your body needs attention. Here are some tips to help you identify the cause, and how to fix it.(你的呼吸可能是你身体需要注意的第一个信号。这里有一些提示，可以帮助您identify原因，以及如何解决它)”中“the cause(原因)”和“how to fix it”可推知，要先确定原因，然后再解决问题。划线词identify与confirm同义，意为“确定”。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The largest and most significant odour-producing part is our tongue.(最大和最重要的气味产生部分是我们的舌头)”可知，舌头是导致口臭产生的主要器官。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Smoking also causes bad mouth smells to stay.(吸烟也会导致口腔异味持续存在。)”可知，为了避免口臭，要少抽烟。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Most of us can’t smell our own breath. If someone bravely informs you your breath smells, believe them, and do something about it.(我们大多数人都闻不到自己的口气。如果有人勇敢地告诉你你的口气有味道，相信他们，并采取行动)”、第二段“Your breath can be the first sign that something in your body needs attention. Here are some tips to help you identify the cause, and how to fix it.(你的呼吸可能是你身体需要注意的第一个信号。这里有一些提示，可以帮助您确定原因，以及如何解决它)”和下文内容可知，文章分析了口臭的可能原因及解决方法。故D项“Find the causes of bad breath and the ways to remove it(找出口臭的原因以及消除口臭的方法)”能概括文章主要内容，是文章最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How can humans become immortal (永生的)? You might have only seen the idea of uploading the human brain to a digital cloud in science fiction movies. Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, has already done so. ____16____ “If you could upload your brain to the cloud, and talk to a virtual version of yourself, would you be buddies?” Musk replied on July 19,“Already did it.” The reply indicated that Musk’s brain-computer interface (接口) company, Neuralink, had already realized the technology. What does Neuralink do? Neuralink was founded by Musk in 2016. The company focuses on brain-computer interface technology which is used to connect the brain to a digital network. It is developing devices for the treatment of patients with neurological disorders (神经障碍). ____17____ How do brain-computer interfaces work? ____18____ For example, if a person imagines picking up a book, the computer would then learn to identify how the brain gives that command. Next, the computer would send the signal to the machine, which would then move a robotic arm to reach for the book. ____19____ Uploading a brain is only part of Musk’s plan. He revealed to Insider that his goal is to download human consciousness (意识) into robots. Just like how our memories are stored in mobile phones through pictures and videos, Musk imagines that our brains — not only how we think, but also our personalities and habits — can be transferred (转入) into robots. In this way, even after our bodies are rotten, our brains are preserved. ____20____ “The most wildly optimistic predictions place mind uploading within a few decades, but I would not be surprised if it took centuries,” wrote Michael S. A. Graziano, a professor at Princeton University, in a Wall Street Journal essay. A. What will happen next? B. Why does this technology come into being? C. In other words, the company aims to create links between mind and machine. D. The secret was revealed when a question posted on Twitter caught his attention. E. So many famous scientists are working together to turn this idea into a great reality. F. Some experts believe that this could be realized one day, but the timeline is unclear. G. Computers designed to learn the patterns of neural activity are used to get information from human brains. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. G 19. A 20.

Items that don’t necessarily have high prices but are smart in their simplicity can make life easier. In fact, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without them! Here are some of our favorites. Getting caught in the rain I love the K-Way Backpack Rain Poncho. Made from 100 percent 190T polyester (聚酯纤维) with a PVC coating and a seam-sealed design, it provides comfortable and reliable protection against strong winds and heavy downpours. It’s long and has enough space to hold a backpack, while a hood (兜帽) adds an extra layer of defense in unexpected weather conditions. It comes in a carry-on bag for convenience on the go. * Click here: www.capeunionmart.co.za No shocker here It can be quite disappointing to try and keep your electrical and extension plugs dry and dust-free while camping.

So, I wandered the streets nearby until I came across a restaurant and finally found it —whole chicken! In my head, I imagined a juicy, tender (嫩的) whole bird with perfectly crispy (酥脆的) browned skin with a side of mashed potatoes (土豆泥): just the way it is always prepared in America, right? For some reason, I never stopped to think that the Chinese definition of a “whole chicken” might be different from my assumptions. I waved a waiter over and hurriedly pointed to the line on the menu to show my food request. Finally, I would be able to satisfy my eagerness! Yet, when the bird finally landed on my plate, my wide grin (咧嘴笑) turned to one of shock. Rather than a golden crispy brown, the skin was instead bright yellow. But the most obvious was something that I would rather not have seen at all: the head! In all my years of eating chicken, I had never seen the head still attached to the rest of the body. Yet here it was, staring back at me. In America, although people understand where meat comes from, the way food is presented means they aren’t reminded of the living animal it once was. When staring face-to-face with the dead bird on my plate, that fact was made much more apparent. Still, I carried on, trying to ignore the head while I dug into the chicken breast (胸脯肉). But, even here, I found organs (器官) like the heart and lungs that had not been totally removed. Finally, I gave up and just focused on the rice instead. Afterward, I came to understand chicken is almost always served with the head in Chinese dishes. Although my tolerance for food has expanded since then, I will never forget the first time I ordered a whole chicken and got more than what I had expected. 6. Why did the author go to eat a whole chicken? A. He missed the food of his home country. B. He wanted to try Chinese-style chicken. C. He came across a unique restaurant. D.

Why did the author give up eating the chicken finally? A. He disliked its taste. B. He preferred the rice. C. He found organs inside. D. He missed American food. 9. What does the author think of Chinese food in the end? A. Acceptable. B. Scary. C. Tasty. D. Comfortable. 10. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Eating habits in China. B. Cooking style of Chinese chicken. C. My homesickness in China. D. My first taste of a chicken in China. C Most of us can’t smell our own breath. If someone bravely informs you your breath smells, believe them, and do something about it. Your breath can be the first sign that something in your body needs attention. Here are some tips to help you identify the cause, and how to fix it. Of the many causes of bad breath, 90% come from rotten (腐烂的) — smelling bacterial (细菌的) by-products inside our mouth. These by-products form a series of odours (气味) that can make our breath smell like rotten eggs or human waste. The largest and most significant odour-producing part is our tongue. The back of our tongue is a perfect place for bacteria that feed on dead cells, saliva (唾液) proteins, sinus ooze and fluids from untreated tooth disease. These bacteria can form a furry coat on our tongue that spreads through our breath. The good news is that you can fix this by brushing your tongue when you clean your teeth. Eating onion and garlic can add a sulphurous (硫的) tone to your breath for up to three days, due mainly to food particles left behind. Smoking also causes bad mouth smells to stay. Hard-to-reach places in the mouth where the toothbrush just can’t seem to clean can act like greenhouses where unhealthy bacteria develop. Spaces in faulty or broken fillings, holes in teeth, gap s in the gums, as well as improperly cleaned dental implants (移植) all contribute to bad odours. Your dentist can help identify these smell-promoting storing places, and fix or clean them. We all experience morning breath, with some suffering more than others. Morning breath occurs when our saliva flow slows or stops while we sleep. And without saliva to wash, everything seems to stop and the bacteria multiply to give off gassy odours. Other factors that reduce saliva include stress, anxiety, blood-pressure-reducing medication, drugs, caffeine and alcohol.

You might have only seen the idea of uploading the human brain to a digital cloud in science fiction movies. Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, has already done so. ____16____ “If you could upload your brain to the cloud, and talk to a virtual version of yourself, would you be buddies?” Musk replied on July 19,“Already did it.” The reply indicated that Musk’s brain-computer interface (接口) company, Neuralink, had already realized the technology. What does Neuralink do? Neuralink was founded by Musk in 2016. The company focuses on brain-computer interface technology which is used to connect the brain to a digital network.

In this way, even after our bodies are rotten, our brains are preserved. ____20____ “The most wildly optimistic predictions place mind uploading within a few decades, but I would not be surprised if it took centuries,” wrote Michael S. A. Graziano, a professor at Princeton University, in a Wall Street Journal essay. A. What will happen next? B. Why does this technology come into being? C. In other words, the company aims to create links between mind and machine. D. The secret was revealed when a question posted on Twitter caught his attention. E.
